Saladish: A Crunchier, Grainier, Herbier, Heartier, Tastier Way with Vegetables Kindle Edition

This is a beautiful book, but the recipes are ridiculous. Most of the recipes assume you have access to a farmer's market and a lot of spare time to hunt down obscure ingredients. And I say this as a resident of NYC.

I purchased the Kindle edition and returned it after reading through the recipes to see what they were like. I agree with one reviewer who expressed disappointment in the book and said: " Definitely not 'meal' salads - just sides." I expected salads that were like the cover. But there were many that were small side dishes and that contained strange ingredients or ingredients that I did not care for. Very few were visually attractive. And face it, much of food's appeal is visual. There were very few recipes that I was interested in making, so I returned the book. "Saladish" may be a cute title, but if you're looking for Salads that look like the cover, skip this book.

These are yummy and beautiful recipes. Unfortunately almost every recipe has at least two ingredients which are impossible to find at your local chain grocery or Trader Joe's. It would probably be a great book for someone living in New York; elsewhere, not so much.

Being a big salad eater I was eager to receive this book. It has beautiful pictures but I was disappointed in the recipes. They call for a lot of ingredients I don't regularly have. I don't see myself making most of them.

Here's the dish on Saladish...I love this book. Having recently gone "nutritarian" a la Dr. Joel Furhman, my boyfriend and I have been eager to find new and interesting salad and veggie creations. This book with beautiful visuals has certainly inspired us and whet our appetite. Also there are some unusual ingredients to break up the salad monotony. It would make a great gift!

Amazing! Brilliant combinations of flavors and textures. This is NOT a book full of lettuce and kale salads and raw veggie platters. Nor is it a book full of gloppy veggie casseroles. Almost every dish is hearty enough to be a main meal. It features hot and cold dishes alike. I've tried 3 recipes so far and they've all been outstanding (Roasted & Pickled Cauliflower, Barley with Many Mushrooms, and Not-Exactly-Manchurian Cauliflower). Well written, easy to follow, and all the cooking techniques seem very straightforward. Beautiful, inspiring photos. There is some call for slightly more exotic ingredients than you're likely to find a very basic all-American supermarket, but I haven't seen anything I can't get at Whole Foods. If you're any kind of foodie/cook, you've got 95%+ of the herbs, spices, and condiments that Rosen calls for in your pantry already. There are 75 or so recipes in the book, and there's a very handy chart at the back that shows you at a glance which ones are Vegan, Vegetarian, and/or Gluten Free. Only about 5 of these recipes have meat in them, and almost all are Vegan-friendly and Gluten-Free. That being said, this cookbook is a celebration of healthy, beautiful food that should make anyone who likes to eat very, very happy! I'm excited to try every darn recipe in this book!

This book was a real treat. Ilene has a spectacular pantry and knows how to use it. I actually got a lot of good, new ideas. Enough to make me sorry it's on my Kindle and not in my hands. Lovely illustrations.

These recipes are easy, accessible (if you have a couple of good Asian markets) and DELICIOUS. These recipes are creative and the book is structured in a way that's beautiful and accessible. I love that vegetables are given such thought and care through these recipes, and though many of the recipes are vegan or vegetarian, it is a book that's veggie forward, but still has accents of meat.

Un vrai bijou contenant pleins de trucs pour travailler avec les saveurs et textures. Recettes avec des ingrédients un peu moins familier dans mon quotidien. 5*

Pretty book

Bought for my sister for Xmas and looked at it myself. Great ideas. Some ingredients more rare but for the most part very doable
